To celebrate his appointment as official timekeeper of the parade for the Diamond Jubilee, Jaeger LeCoultre has created a special limited edition of 3 pieces of the Atmos Millennium clock , which is engraved with the lineage of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Invented in 1928, almost perpetual Atmos movement counts the hours, day after day, year after year, without any need for batteries or winding. This is a clock that literally lives on the air. The secret is hermetically sealed in the capsule which is on the back of the mechanism and which transforms the variations in the ambient temperatre into mechanical energy.
